Tell Your Brand Story

Brand Video Production for Bay Area Businesses

Documentary-style brand, marketing, and corporate video for Bay Area companies

Faber Productions is an Oakland-based video production company that helps businesses tell their brand story through documentary-style video — real voices and stories that connect on an emotional level and move people to act.

Across tech and software, consumer brands, senior living, construction, and beyond, whether it’s a brand video, a product launch, a company profile, or a short social cut, we craft something your audience will feel and remember — a video that shows not just what you do, but who you are and the impact you have.

Different worlds, one storytelling approach…

Consumer Brands & Services

Consumer brands and services live or die on how they make people feel. We look for real moments that give an audience something to connect with — kids having fun building toy furniture, people talking about what a favorite brand means to them, or the feeling of a place they can imagine themselves in — and let those moments take the lead.

Recruitment & Employer Brand

One of a company’s best recruitment arguments is its people speaking about their experiences there. We have those conversations and document the reality — a general contractor’s young people leading a key project talking about what it’s like to be trusted early, a tech company supporting its employees’ passion for change in the wider world. As one employee says, “Company culture isn’t something you can just put on a letterhead and hope it sticks. It’s either there or it’s not.”

Software & Tech Videos

The story isn’t the thing itself; it’s the people behind it and the people whose lives it changes. Our tech and software videos show your product in the world it was built for. Long form, short form, or a thirty-second vertical cut for social, a good story makes an impact at every length…

Architecture & Construction

We’ve spent years documenting how buildings get made — the craft, the people, and the culture a company runs on. That includes four videos documenting the restoration of the 1920s Mining Exchange building, commissioned by Lincoln Property Company and now playing permanently in a public museum installation inside the building.

Why Faber Productions?

Video marketing is about both strategy and creativity — and we bring both: the storytelling expertise to find what’s true and affecting about your company, and the skills to get that story in front of the right audience, on the right platform. That’s why companies from tech (Cvent, Informatica) to consumer brands (Public Bikes, Clover Stornetta) have trusted us to tell their stories.

For your Spanish-speaking audiences, we also produce Spanish-language video for businesses in-house, start to finish, with a creative director who’s fluent in the language.

Let’s start a conversation

Every project starts with two questions: who’s your audience, and what do you want them to do after they watch your video? Let’s talk.

“5+++ Stars!! We recently hired Faber Productions for a video project in San Francisco. He met with us several times leading up to the event to talk about the story, and spent time understanding our project goals. The end result was incredible. We used the video to help showcase our products at our annual customer conference.”

Brook Gracey, CVENT SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES

“We had a fantastic experience. The team did a wonderful job producing our company video. Chris is an amazing videographer and visual storyteller. He was genuinely interested in getting to know us and didn’t follow some generic checklist to understand our requirements. He produced a beautiful, compelling video about our brand.”

Kirti Patel, IMAGINATION SUPPLY COMPANY

“Our company found Faber Productions online in a time of dire need. We’d just lost our video producer and we were right in the middle of a time-sensitive project. Chris was a godsend. He jumped in with no hesitation, despite a tight deadline and a learning curve for our video niche. This man has the soul of a poet and the eye of an artist. Our project absolutely glowed when he was finished. Our client was thrilled.”

Kelli Standish, PULSEPOINT DESIGN

“Chris’s passion is boundless and his perceptions keen. He’s one of those odd characters for whom film editing comes naturally, a rare combination of tech savant and creative artist.”

Gene Corr, Writer, Director,”Waldo Salt” ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE

“I was involved with a collaborative project between a number of Alameda County agencies and community-based organizations. With so many partners and stakeholders, there were bound to be many different viewpoints, opinions, and expectations. What we received was far beyond our expectations. Chris proved himself to be a skilled listener who was not only able to hear the numerous needs of his clients, but also find the balance between all those viewpoints and interpret them in a way on film that was amazing. He was professional, passionate about his work, and in the end, every one of our partners and collaborators was blown away and happy with the product.”

Janice Chin, ALAMEDA COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

“Chris was incredibly patient, taking the time to listen to our needs and our vision for the final product. He and his team worked with a variety of staff and community members with various backgrounds and experiences; all expressed their appreciation for the team’s high level of professionalism and expertise. Chris developed insightful interview questions that effectively elicited authentic and purposeful remarks that helped tell an impactful story. They are a sincere pleasure to work with.”

Tanya Bustamante, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, HEALTH, HOUSING & COMMUNITY SERVICES, CITY OF BERKELEY

“Chris consistently created space for all voices at the table and made a significant effort to honor the collective decisions that emerged from those discussions. His approach was collaborative, steady, and solutions-focused from start to finish. I would confidently recommend Chris to any organization seeking a producer who combines technical expertise with strong listening skills and a deep respect for community-driven work.”

Tracy Hazelton, ALAMEDA COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH

“Chris is a creative and constructive problem-solver who manifested our ideas and vision. Our project involved Black and Brown high school interns interviewing community agency leaders about their agencies’ impacts on the Berkeley community. Chris managed to bring out the best in our high school interns when it was their turn to be in front of the camera and understood the importance of highlighting their valuable contributions in the video. He brings great professionalism and passion to his work.”

Nina Goldman, DIRECTOR, YOUTH EQUITY PARTNERSHIP, CITY OF BERKELEY

“Faber Productions jumped mid-way into a big, complex video project and turned it around 180 degrees. What you get with Chris is not just a video editor, but a writer-thinker-creator-storyteller extraordinaire, who will wrestle with your project until it is perfect. I have not worked with anybody that goes to such efforts to understand who you are, what you want, and then figure how to best tell that story. In summary: talented, generous, honest, and a true pro.”

Florencia Prada, SWISSNEX SAN FRANCISCO

“I was honored to collaborate with Faber Productions on a short social action documentary. Chris is original, bold, nuanced, and a perfectionist. His extensive screenwriting experience was invaluable as we worked to craft the perfect story arc. Chris expertly extracted the most touching moments from hours of footage, then molded these elements together into a clear, emotional story with impact.

Our viewers were riveted — and led to action.”

Naomi Ture, DIRECTOR, A PERFECT DONOR

“Chris is fast, intuitive and whip-smart. His head and heart are equally strong. Working together is always fun.”

Cort Worthington, ILLUMINATA FILMS

“Only an artist could do what Chris does with such genius and perfection. I’m absolutely stunned by what he gave to this — what you all have created for my book with the book trailer.”
